In September 2021, Effie completed her treatment after 2.5 long years in and out of Lurie Children’s Hospital.
Through this experience she gained perspective and empathy, and now has the desire to give back. She has since started a nonprofit called Effie’s Wish” with the goal to help kids that are hospitalized and battling critical illnesses. She, along with her Junior Board of Directors, raises funds to provide fun activities and enhance quality of life for children during treatment. Last fall, Effie’s Wish raised thousands of dollars to purchase Nintendo Switches that will be donated to hospitalized children.
We were so grateful to have met and helped the Inman family, and look forward to supporting Effie on her philanthropic journey.
